CROSSLANE · OPERATIONS & SUPPLY CHAIN ADVISORY DESIGNED BY TEXASBLT
CL-02 / SERVICES
REV. 08.2026 · DALLAS
SERVICES / NINE LINES, ONE STANDARD

Supply chain consulting.
Strategy to shop floor.

Every service line is led by someone who has done the job in industry, not studied it. Engage one line for a targeted fix, or several under a single diagnostic.

Prioritize your Lean improvement opportunities.

Explore our evaluation framework and prepare your operational baseline.

Lean process approach → Diagnostic intake form →
01

Supply Chain Strategy

Where should you make, buy, hold, and ship, and what should it cost? We build the operating model and footprint strategy from your actual demand and cost-to-serve data, then sequence the moves so finance signs off before operations starts digging.

TYPICAL SCOPE
Cost-to-serve & margin analysis
Make/buy & footprint decisions
3–5 year supply chain roadmap
02

Network Design & Optimization

How many nodes, where, serving whom. We model your network against real order data, stress-test it against demand shifts, tariffs, and disruption scenarios, and hand you a design your ops team helped build so they'll actually run it.

TYPICAL SCOPE
Node count & location modeling
Flow-path & inventory placement
Disruption & scenario stress-tests
03

Transportation & Freight

Freight is usually the fastest money in the building. We run ground-up procurement events, fix mode and routing decisions, and put carrier management discipline in place so the savings hold past quarter one.

TYPICAL SCOPE
Freight procurement & bid events
Mode, routing & consolidation strategy
Carrier scorecards & QBR discipline
04

Warehousing & Distribution

Layout, labor, slotting, and automation, judged by payback rather than what looks good in a demo. We've run buildings through peak; we design DCs that survive it.

TYPICAL SCOPE
Layout & slotting redesign
Labor planning & productivity standards
Automation business cases
05

Procurement & Sourcing

Total landed cost, not unit price. We build supplier strategies, run negotiations alongside your team, and leave behind the category playbooks so the discipline outlasts the engagement.

TYPICAL SCOPE
Category strategy & supplier rationalization
Negotiation support
Total-landed-cost models
06

Technology & Systems Implementation

WMS, TMS, and planning systems selected for fit and landed without drama. We write requirements from your processes, keep integrators honest, and stay through go-live and stabilization.

TYPICAL SCOPE
Selection & requirements definition
Implementation oversight
Go-live & stabilization support
07

Managed Services / 4PL

For companies that need the capability but not the headcount: we run your transportation control tower or planning function as an ongoing service, with your data, your carriers, and full transparency.

TYPICAL SCOPE
Transportation control tower
Planning-as-a-service
Continuous optimization cadence
08

Interim & Fractional Leadership

A supply chain VP walked out, or you've never had one. A Crosslane partner steps into the seat, runs the team, budget, and board updates, and helps you hire the permanent leader.

TYPICAL SCOPE
Interim VP / Director of Supply Chain
Fractional leadership (1–3 days/week)
Succession & hiring support
09

Safety & Compliance

Safety and compliance are operating systems, not paperwork. We audit DOT and OSHA exposure, rebuild carrier and driver qualification controls, and leave teams with practical SOPs, training, scorecards, and audit-ready documentation.

TYPICAL SCOPE
DOT / OSHA & hazmat compliance audits
Driver qualification files & carrier scorecards
SOPs, training & claims exposure review
